With travel restrictions, including testing requirements, for those arriving in the UK removed or relaxed significantly, Gatwick announced it would reopen its South Terminal on 27 March, with several airlines including British Airways, Wizz, Vueling and easyJet all adding many new routes and destinations to their flying programmes from the airport.
David Conway, Human Resources Director, Gatwick Airport said:
“We have been recruiting for a number of months, and our push to find new people continues as we ramp up our operation ahead of the South Terminal reopening and, hopefully, a very busy summer period.
